The image, which quickly went viral, had over 39,000 likes and 23,000 retweets as of Tuesday afternoon. Among those to retweet the image was former Disney Channel star Debby Ryan, who has over four million Twitter followers.

BuzzFeed tracked down the teen who first posted the tweet, Abby Fry. The diehard Cosmic Girls fan said she "shipped" ― or envisioned a romantic relationship between ― the two women because she thought it was amuse the group's fans, and hadn't expected it to go viral.

"I thought they looked like they were at a wedding with the dresses they were wearing and the dresses sure looked expensive," Fry told BuzzFeed. Noting that she assumed people would fact check the tweet before they reposted, she said that excitement that the tweet had inspired "shows the power of what we want to happen."
